Marketing materials include business cards, various menus for different events and festivals, party proposals, flyers, etc. All marketing materials were made from 2016 to 2019. It was decided to step back from the boundaries of VI for special occasions to strengthen the visual perception of existing customers and draw the attention of new ones.
